HERRIOT TODISCUSS RELIGIOUS PROBLEM Interpellation Planred on Schoo!l Strike and Letter of Catholic Prelates. By the Assoclated Press. PARIS, March 17.—The religious question is to come before the Cham- ber of Deputies this afternoon. Dep- uty Cazals has given notice of an in- terpellation on the cardinals’ and archbishops’ letter, which the radi- cals call a “declaration of war,” but in view of the press of other business Dbefore the House, it is understood that Premier Herriot will ask that the debate on the interpellation be adjourned until Thursday or Friday. At the same time he is expected to make a statement both on the letter and on the strike of puplls called in Alsace by the Bishop of Strassburg in protest against the institution of religiously neutral schools. The latest reports concerning the strike say that while it was generall effective in the villages and rural d tricts, it was unsuccessful in the towns. Nowhere was it a source of disturbance. The bill giving women the vote in the clty elections is being debated in the chamber this morning, but it is not likely to come to a vote in the time allotted, and thus will probably fail of passage before the municipal elections in May. s some 11,000,000 woman voters are affected, the question is one of con- siderable political importance, par- ticularly since delegates from the city councils form a large part of the «lectoral colleges which choose the Senators, and the opposition is known 10 be planning a strong campalgn to Sncrease its representation in the Sen- ate at the next partial renewal of that ‘body. BOTH CLAIM VICTORY. Catholics Cite Success in Rural Districts, Government in Cities. By the Assocfated Pres: STRASBOURG, France, March 17. +—Conflicting claims are made regard- ing the extent of the Catholic school strike which was called throughout Alsace by the Bishop of Strasbourg in protest against the Herriot gov- ernment's institution of intercon- fessional . or religiously neutral schools. The Catholic newspapers and au- thorities say it was a great success, le the Socialists term it a failure. The strike was called for only one day, yesterday, in the country and for three days at Colmar, where it is continuing. The Catholic newspapers assert that in the country the movement was from S0 to 90 per cent effective, and that in some villages not a single pupil attend- ed. The governmental newspapers point to the smaller percentage of abstentions i the cities, which the Catholics admit. The latter, however, say that from 50 to 60 per cent of all the Catholic school chfldren in Alsace observed the strike. The Journal de L'est, a moderate' Re- publican organ, says the Catholic au- thorities have shown the government they are very influential, but warns them that many families were disturbed by the defiance of civil authority, which they considered a bad example for the chiidren.

For our seryive pi | Methods Used | open on Saturday evening, MarcH 2 | areas THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, The War Over the Air By Will Irwin. Chapter III-—New York 1 have shown in a previous install- ment how an enemy with a fleet of bombing aircraft properly protected by fighting planes might cut our lines of transportation between East and West, ralse havoc with our wealthy cities of the Atlantic slope, make chaos of our national life. I left New York for the time being, out of consideratlon. Yet New York is supremely important. It is the rail- way center of the Atlantic coast. It is our biggest port—the second biggest in the world—and our most productive manufacturing city. Finally, in less than a square mile of its downtown district lies concentrated the finan- clal power of the Nation. As Kipling said of the Bank of England, Wall street Is “the pojyer house of the line.” S An enemy establishing an offensive air fleet on the edge of “the great triangle” would probably strike first at New Yorlk, just as a man in a fight strikes first at his opponent's head And the Island of Manhattan is espe- clally vulnerable to aerial attack, It Is a seaport; if the enemy's landing had been preceded by a victory at sea, his naval planes could reinforce his land-based air forces. Its wealth and population are concentrated to a degree unknown elsewhere in the world. First Stroke at Reserveirs. The first stroke ‘would be enough to render Manhattan and most other boroughs in Greater New York un- inhabitable for weeks. The city de- pends for its water upon reservoirs. As I have shown elsewhere, a few mustard gas bombs dropped into these broad targets would render the city supply not only undrinkable, but violently poisonous. The rallroad communications, like everything else in the city, lie closely | concentrated. The Pennsylvania sys- tem has its station and yards in the region of Thirty-fourth street and Eighth avenue. Heavy bombs in the right place would here cut the city’s most important link with the South, its second most important with the West. For good measure the enemy would probably gas this region. He would almost certainly gas the under- river tunnel by which all trains en- tering the Pennsylvania Station cross from the mainland. The lines running into the Grand Central station present a simpler problem. They do not enter the city by tube, but by bridge. Blow up three or four bridges crossing from Manhattan to the Bronx and the job is done; the greatest line of commu- nication te the West, the sole line to the North, is cut. There remain sev- eral less important systems which have their terminals and yards on the “Jersey shore”—the western bank of the Hudson. Other Exposed Centers. The city feeds its freight and pas- sengers to them mostly by the Hud- son system of underwater tunnels and, to a lesser extent, by ferry Destroying these lesser terminals by explosive bomb might, curiously, be a harder job. To end their useful- ness to New York City, however, it would be necessary only to blow up the power houses which run the trains in the tube, to gas the tubes themselves, to destroy the ferry- slips. And most of New York City proper, including the Borough of Manhattan, {s isolated from the world. Already the enemy would have paid special attention to the heart of the matter—the region known in American polemics as Wall Street. Measure it off on the map; you find it occupies less than a square mile of the city's surface. I have shown that 16 tons of gas, at the highest es- timate, can blot out life in an ordi- nary square mile of a city. This, al- lowing a margin of error. can be handled by 10 of the largest bomb- ng planes. If the enemy carried the pitiless logic of modern war to its inescapable conclusion, he would gas this region not at night, when it is almost empty, but by day, when it holds the very flower of American financial and administrative ability. An organization is built not on steel {and cement and other material things, EXHIBIT OF NATURE STUDY IS PLANNED in District Schools Will Be Shown at Exposition Here. Various phases of the pature study work in the District public schools will be depicted in an exhibit at the Chamber of Commerce industrial ex- position which opens Saturday night in the new Washington Auditorium, it was announced today by Mrs. Eliz- abeth K. Peeples. director. A special booth has been assigned to the nature study department. The walls will be decorated with posters showing the subjects taught the na- ture study pupils, such as forest fire protection, wildfiower preservation, bird protection as a crop protection, lawn improvement, gardening and flower cultivation. The booth also will contain two tables displaying the best samples of the 1,500 bird houses made by the children, telegraph and radio instruments made as a result of the science lessons and a minia- ture plot with growing plants. Leetures 03 Gardening. Mrs. Peeples has planned as an added feature a short series of fl- lustrated lectures on the school gar- dening work. Stereopticon slides will be used to show the children caring for the gardens from the time the soil Is broken until harvest. All of the pictures were taken at the different school gardens All three floors and the foyer of the large auditorium will be used for the industrial exposition which promises to be the largest of its kind ever staged in Washington. One hun- dred and seventy-five exhibit booths are now under construction. Prexident to Attend. Director Alfred L. Stern has re- ceived from Everett Sanders, secre- tary to President Coolidge, a letter pointing out that the Chief Execu- tive is interested in the exposition and hopes to view it before closing. “The President has been much inter-| ested in the plans for the Chamber of Commerce industrial exposition, to in. the Washington Auditorium,” wrote Mr. Sanders. “He hopes that the people of Washington and adjacent will demonstrate the full measure -of interest which the im- portance of the exposition justifies.” Infailii)le Philatelist Diec.

Sportswomen of Bngland are wear- | ing high instead of low collars, but upon brains. To klll these peo- ple would have the same effect on our financial and industrial life as to kill its general staff and their trained techniclans would have on any army. The country’s finances, to great ex- tent its industrial life, would flop round rudderless. A daylight gas bombardment of the Wall Street dis- trict, by the way, would have one gruesomely odd effect. The gas-cloud would not rise to the top of the sky- scrapers. The people in their upper stories would either rush down into the infected levels and dle, or wait up there in a state of siege for res- cuers with masks. Forcing People to Flee. Probably the enemy would not at- tack certain great local bridges— such as the Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queensboro to Long Island, or the smaller spans across Spuyten Duyvil Creek to the mainland. He would want the city evacuated; these would help. Nearly two million live on Manhattan Island at night; probably three million live and work there by day. Before this work of destruc- ion was accomplished New York would be in a state of panic impos- sible to describe and difficult to imagine. If the city showed unexpected calm, however, a few gas bombs sprinkled in the residential districts or among the excitable tenement peo- ple of the East Side would stir things up wonderfully. And, at any rate, as soon as the faucets began to run diluted mustard gas New York would be untenable. Across the bridges two or three million people would struggle and jam their way—refu- gees. They would leave behind them tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, who had dled in strange, unnatural forms. Tangled knots of corpses would lie &t the bottoms of the dity canvons. in the stalled trains of the subways and tubes, in the offices of the sky- scrapers. Yet perhaps the greatest loss of civillan life would come afterward. A modern city, as Herbert Hoover found when he looked Into Belgign and American food control, has never more than two weeks of provisions ahead. Probably New York never beats this game by more than 10 days. Here {s the greater part of the city living in the fields, cut off from rail communication. Here is a state of attack on all the railroad communications of the Great Triangle and a state of war to boot. Attack Not Possible Now. Yet, if we do not succeed in re- lieving these refugees, New York alone faces a dicaster comparable to the retreat of the Serblan populace, the forced flight of the Armenians in the late war. Is it possible? Not at present. No one has enough combined air power and sea power. The very nations which come nearest to having that power are those with which we are bound by the strongest community of interest and emotional good feeling. Leaving out material considerations, a war between us and Great Britain, our best preparedenemy, is, as an eminent British friend once said to me, “emotionally unthinkable. But are these things possible in the future? Yes, I think. So do some of our best authorities on air power. This peril gives point to the en- deavor of those strange bedfellows, President Coolidge and the League of Nations, to limit by agreement the extent of air armament. That, as I have sald before, is our best defense. But suppose that Europe makes a fool of itself again and swings into an era of competitive airplane build- Ing, and that some nation—perhaps a restored and remonarchized Ger- many—strikes again for a plate in the sun? Then we must look into the question of defense against aircraft. (“Defense Against Aircraft” the fourth article of Will Irwin’s series on the aircraft controversy, follows tomorrow.)

Agent Says Seeds Planted 12 Years Ago Are Flourishing. Correspondence of the Associated Press. MANILA, February 3—That Para rubber trees will flourish in the southern provinces of the Island of Luzon, within the typhoon belt, is the conclusion reached by A. W. Prautch, agent of the Department of Agricul- ture, who has just returned from an extensive inspection trip through the provinces of Albay and Camarines Sur. After traversing the same region in these provinces where 12 years ago some 40,000 Para rubber seeds, brought from Singapore, were plant- ed, Mr. Prautch declared in his re- port to the department that he found hundreds of rubber trees that have grown to maturity. s “In most cases the seeds were given to caretakers of distant hemp plantations, and where this was done the trees grew. However, as the rub- ber tree does not produce in less than four years, interest had died before the end of that time. The trees matured, the seeds dropped, germinated and produced young trees, but today the troplcal jungle surrounds them. “I counted more than 600 large rub- ber trees of 20 inches or more in cir- cumference and found one tree which measured 39 inches in circumference. I counted 108 small rubber trees un- der one large tree. These sprouted from the seeds which fell last August and September. I found many of these self-planted trees as thick as a man's rist and smaller.” Sergeant Jasper and Kenneth H.
